    After just a few days of use, the phone freezes; the camera doesn't focus properly, and the photo quality isn't good. It overheats significantly and needs to be left unused for a while to cool down. However, it is an inexpensive phone.

    Geek Squad Protection is a scam

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this phone 2 months ago and it was ok. This review is about 2 year Geek Squad warranty and how I got scammed. The scam is this...my screen got cracked and instead of replacing the screen...they want to replace the phone for 107.00..when I purchased the warranty this is not what I had in mind. If they are going to just discard the phone without even looking at it and accessing the damage then giving you the option of just getting another phone at a price...then dont purchase the basic coverage...that sucks

      Hi BasicCoveragesucksdontbuy, We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Geek Squad warranty—it sounds frustrating and not what you expected when purchasing coverage. While the warranty terms are set by the provider, we understand how disappointing it can be to feel like the solution doesn’t properly address your phone’s damage. We recommend contacting Geek Squad directly to clarify the claim process and see if there are any options for a proper screen repair or adjustment to your claim. Your feedback is valuable and helps highlight areas where customers need clearer guidance on coverage. -Carlos MotorolaMobility

    Cosmeticly the phone was perfect. I had issues from the start. It kept updating once a sim was put in for a week, and then started blocking random numbers in my contacts. They would not take it back after 2 weeks of trying to get it to work correctly.

    Picked up this Motorola moto g 5G 2024 in Sage Green unlocked for under $200—perfect secondary phone for my IT fieldwork and vehicle diagnostics around LA. Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 with 4GB RAM (boostable to 8GB virtual) runs PowerShell Mobile, remote server apps, and even light Python scripts smoothly for daily troubleshooting without lag. ​ The 6.6-inch 120Hz IPS display is responsive for scrolling client tickets or vintage skate inventory lists, stereo speakers pump clear audio for calls, and NFC handles quick payments at AutoZone. Massive 5000mAh battery lasts 1.5-2 days on mixed use (great for late-night Hyper-V sessions), with 18W charging and microSD up to 1TB for storing network configs and restore images. ​ Cameras are solid for quick snaps of server racks or car mods, Android 14 is clean (updated to 15 already), and 5G connectivity rocks on T-Mobile for remote AD management. Solid build with vegan leather back—no frills, just reliable value for a busy MSP owner
